These tiny condos have more style than your mansion

1. The loft

Oh my loft bed. In a stroke of design genius, this 425-square-foot Manhattan space feels both roomy and functional. Every spare angle is maximized for storage and utility, and we just can't get over that dreamy staircase.

3. The sleek look

Tight space? No problem. This micro apartment embraces its height and uses it to create style and character. A loft bed and stairs are added, leaving the downstairs for practical use (and that great orange accent).

6. The intelligent

When we hear 240 square feet we think, "Better give away everything we own and hope our toothbrush fits in." When Tim Seggerman heard 240 square feet he thought, "Not only can I make this into a beautiful wood cabinet structure with a loft, but I'll throw in a library for good measure."

8. The storage unit

Can you say storage? This 60-square-meter home in Paris uses movable walls to create an open feel in the small space. These walls also provide a whole lot of storage, and with that, a whole lot of funky design options. Charmant.

9. The experiment

This 215-square-foot apartment was created to explore the possibilities of brightening a space with a lack of natural light. The result is so vibrant and chic we have to say their study was a success. Also, that wasn't a typo. This home really is 215 square feet.

10. The simple

Once upon a time this 300-square-foot space was simply an office. A few bits of architectural genius and a fairy godmother later, we have this beautiful white home full of storage and clean spaces. Magic.
